Horoscope: March 3, 2017

Your Stars Today

Aries | March 20 – April 18



Understandably, you’re eager for the Sun to move into Aries. This isn’t just about your birthday, it also ends a cycle that’s prevented you speaking or acting in the spontaneous manner that comes naturally to you. For now, however, learn from those quiet moments. The resulting insights will benefit you hugely.

Taurus | April 19 – May 19



Although the unsettling eclipsed New Moon took place last Sunday, you’re still contending with the fallout from certain of the changes it triggered. While some were both minor and a relief, others have taken time to deal with. In fact, it’s only now that you’re recognising the benefits these offer.

Gemini | May 20 – June 20



You’re delighted by an idea that’s as exciting as it is inspiring. But, as you’re about to discover, not everybody agrees. Worse, be wary of trying to convince certain individuals to go along with this anyway. While, as a Gemini, you’re always ready for an adventure, not everybody feels the same way.

Cancer | June 21 – July 21



Usually, when you’ve hit a rough spot, you’ll do something wonderful for one particular person. While that doesn’t change anything else, it lifts your spirits and that, in turn, can do wonders. Not everybody understands why you do this but, the fact is, it makes absolutely no difference what they think.

Leo | July 22 – August 21



Often, last minute changes in plans are a nuisance. But those currently coming your way could be exactly the breakthrough you need. For too long you’ve been stuck in a situation that’s both dull and going nowhere. This would be difficult for anybody but is even worse for you, as a Leo.

Virgo | August 22 – September 21



As an earth sign, you’ve a healthy respect for hard facts, and are hesitant about ideas or offers that lack such information. Yet you’re considering exactly such an offer. This may seem unwise, but the link between intuitive Neptune and your ruler Mercury has so sharpened your instincts, they’re completely reliable.

Libra | September 22 – October 22



Usually, facts are facts. Yet at the moment you’re dealing with questions that are more about what you’ve felt in the past and, equally, confusion about certain matters in the here and now. Some require only discussion. But others go deeper and will demand reflection, on your own and, often, by others.

Scorpio | October 23 – November 21



Since late January the impatient Mars has been accenting the practical side of your life. During this period you’ve dealt with various dull but vital obligations and imposed order on situations that, admittedly, you’d ignored. Still, a few remain. Aim to tackle these before the 10th, when Mars moves on.

Sagittarius | November 22 – December 20



Those who’re secretive puzzle you. Yet now you’re dealing with tricky situations in which you must not only do exactly that, certain matters simply cannot even be mentioned. Strange as this seems, it’s also made your life much easier, as nobody asks you questions you’ve no idea how to answer.

Capricorn | December 21 – January 18



Because you think carefully when organising plans, it’s rare anybody is in a position to undermine them. Yet not only is this the case, you’re astonished how deliberate their efforts to cause you problems have been. It’s not about you. The individual in question is a full time troublemaker.

Aquarius | January 19 – February 17



The last thing you want to do is upset anybody. But, having discussed options at length, then struggled to create plans everybody could live with, changes would be unwelcome. Yet judging by the dramatic events taking place in the world around you, a top to bottom rethink isn’t just wise, it’s inevitable.

Pisces | February 18 – March 19



Don’t be surprised if you’re feeling quiet or are in a reflective mood. With both the Sun and the ideas planet Mercury meeting your ruler Neptune, and actually in Pisces, you’ll have a lot on your mind, some issues you’re ready to tackle but, as much, new ideas you’re thinking about pursuing.
